More information about LT Masters, provided by his family, here:
Donald Jackson Masters, 63, Denver, CO. died Aug. 31, 2009, as a result of a motorcycle crash near Salmon, ID. Mr. Masters was born Feb. 9, 1946 in New York City, son of Donald and Mary Lee Masters. He graduated from Trinity Pawling prep school in New York in 1964, from Yale University in 1972 with honors and from the University of Pennsylvania law school in 1976.
Donald served as a First Lieutenant in the 82d Airborne Division of the US Army in Vietnam in 1969 receiving the Bronze Star and Purple Heart as well as other medals. He practiced law at the firm of Rogers & Wells in New York City and at Holme Roberts & Owen in Denver. He was General Counsel of United Cable Television in the 1980’s and a founder of United Global Communications. Masters was an entrepreneur, involved in a number of business ventures, including Access Television, The Recovery Network, Hart Exploration and Aspire Behavioral Health.
Mr. Masters was active in the recovery community and heavily involved in Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Contemplative Outreach. He worked with Father Thomas Keating of St. Benedicts Monastery in Snowmass, CO to offer retreats in Centering Prayer for those in recovery and co-produced the video series, The Contemplative Dimensions of the 12-Steps, with Father Keating. His insights, wisdom and compassion blessed the lives of many, especially those who struggled with addiction.
Donald loved the outdoors and touring the open road on his motorcycle. He died in a beautiful location doing what he loved.
Donald is survived by his son Noah Masters, currently of London, England; step-son Justin Spicer, Denver, CO; step-daughter Ashley Turner Harrington (John), Golden, CO; granddaughter Ella Caroline Harrington, Golden, CO; former wife of 24 years, Caroline Turner, Denver, CO; and sisters Lee Eichert (Joe), Orofino, ID, and Lynne Masters (David Grossman), Walla Walla, WA., and several nieces and nephews.
Burial will be at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA, Dec. 2. Memorial gifts may be made to Contemplative Outreach of Colorado to the Donald Masters Memorial Scholarship Fund for 12-Step Outreach retreats.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Donald Jackson Masters ,Thanks for being one of our greatest heroes. God Bless. And God Bless, The fellow soldiers that stands for us everyday.Thank you for your dedicated service and sacrifice to defend this great nation .
We salute you , My Friend
Final Inspection
The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining.
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now,soldier.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep....
Though I worked a lot of overtime.
When the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord.
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now,soldier
you’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets;
you’ve done your time in Hell."
